Okay - this is getting really funny (and WAY off topic). I found out there
is an actual "Jive Translator" on the web. I tried it. It turned this

"I really like discussing ontology with my good friends" (02)
Into this (expletives deleted) (03)
"Word da dope ass ontology wiff muh ma f#$@in pimp-tight niggas
peep this sh*t" (04)
Could Jive have somehow evolved into a language? Someone actually took the
time to map it to english... Go figure. (05)
Try it online: (06)
